Calls for Government to implement anti-corruption plan

After a six month investigation, Fairfax Media has alleged that senior executives and directors at Leighton Holdings were aware a $42 million kickback had been paid to secure a $750 million oil pipeline contract in Iraq.

Leighton Holdings have strenuously denied the allegations.

Transparency International Australia has called on the Abbott Government to implement a national anti-corruption plan drawn up by the previous Labor government after the latest major bribery scandal.
